How to make a few extra bucks...


Looking for a way to make a few extra bucks? How about a bunch of them? We all drive past opportunities every day and never realize they are there. If you are an experienced fence installer, or have worked with automatic gate operators and want to know more, The NAFCA Gate Operator School is for you.
Recently a fence guy had a conversation with the Director of Maintenance of a small municipality. He asked if the town was aware of some problems with the fence on one of their facilities. The Director said he was aware that some roller covers were broken on the automated gate and should be repaired. The fence guy was able to point out several other areas where the gate did not meet safety standards, then asked if he was out of line for pointing them out.
The Maintenance Director actually thanked him for pointing out the issues, and asked if he knew someone who would be able to fix it. The liabilities involved in having an out of compliance gate far outweigh the costs of repair, and most municipal staffs have neither the manpower nor the expertise to inspect, much less repair these systems.
So where do the extra bucks come from? Once you have been to the NAFCA Gate Operator Training School, you will know how to evaluate gates, fences and operators for safety standards, and how to bring them into compliance. Even if you don't want to do the operator repairs yourself, you will be able to generate income by making the necessary repairs to gates that must be done before the operator can be adjusted.
